Mormon Instructions on Masturbation
|
|
From a Guide to Mormon Youth
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
"Guide to Self-Control: Overcoming Masturbation."
|
|
|
|
:: Enlist The Power Of Prayer
|
|
|
|
Pray daily, ask for the gifts of the Spirit, that which will strengthen
|
|
you against temptation.
|
|
|
|
Pray fervently and out loud when the temptations are the strongest.
|
|
|
|
When the temptation to masturbate is strong, yell "Stop!" to those
|
|
thoughts as loudly as you can in your mind. Then recite a portion of the
|
|
Bible or sing a hymn.
|
|
|
|
:: Exercise Vigorously
|
|
|
|
Follow a program of vigorous daily exercise, which reduce emotional
|
|
tension and depression.
|
|
|
|
Double your physical activity when you feel stress increasing.
|
|
|
|
:: Set Goals
|
|
|
|
Set a goal of abstinence. Begin with a day, then a week, month, year.
|
|
Finally, commit yourself to never doing it again.
|
|
|
|
Make a pocket calendar for a month on a small card. Carry it with you but
|
|
show it to no one.
|
|
|
|
If you masturbate, color that day black. Your goal will be to have no
|
|
black days.
|
|
|
|
The calendar becomes a strong visual reminder, and should be looked at
|
|
when you are tempted to add another black day.
|
|
|
|
Keep your calendar up until you have at least three clear months.
|
|
|
|
Set up a reward system. Each time you reach a goal, award yourself a
|
|
quarter. Spend it on something that delights you.
|
|
|
|
:: Work On Self-Improvement
|
|
|
|
Work daily on a self-improvement program. Improve your relationships with
|
|
your family. Increase your service to your church.
|
|
|
|
Be outgoing and friendly. Force yourself to be with others and learn to
|
|
enjoy working and talking with them.
|
|
|
|
Change in behavior and attitude is most easily achieved through a changed
|
|
self-image.
|
|
|
|
Spend time every day imagining yourself strong and in control, easily
|
|
overcoming tempting situations.
|
|
|
|
:: Avoid Temptation
|
|
|
|
When on the toilet or showering, leave the door partly open.
|
|
|
|
Arise immediately in the mornings. Don't lie awake in bed -- start each
|
|
day with enthusiastic activity.
|
|
|
|
Avoid people, situations, pictures and reading material that might create
|
|
sexual excitement.
|
|
|
|
:: Use Physical Restraints
|
|
|
|
Wear pajamas that are difficult to open, yet loose and not binding.
|
|
|
|
Put on several layers of clothing that would be difficult to remove while
|
|
half asleep.
|
|
|
|
Hold an object -- for example, a Bible -- even in bed at night.
|
|
|
|
In severe cases, tie a hand to the bed frame.
|
|
|
|
:: Be Alert To Emotions
|
|
|
|
Be aware of situations that depress you or that cause you to feel lonely,
|
|
bored, frustrated or discouraged. These emotional states can trigger the
|
|
desire to masturbate as a way of escape.
|
|
|
|
Plan to counter these low periods through reading a book, visiting a
|
|
friend, doing something athletic, etc.
|
|
|
|
Employ aversion therapy. To cancel out the pleasurableness of
|
|
masturbating , associate something very distasteful with the act. For
|
|
example, imagine bathing in a tub of worms and eating some of them.
|
|
|
|
:: "Wet Dreams" Are Normal
|
|
|
|
Nocturnal emissions or "wet dreams" empty the seminal vesicles at night
|
|
during sleep. The impulses that cause the emptying come from the central
|
|
nervous system.
|
|
|
|
Often an erotic dream is experienced at the same time, and is a part of
|
|
this normal process.
